Yet while the latest England squad was announced with breath of stale air (Shaun. Wright. Phillips.) the French are doing a rather better job of starting over. They have their first home game since the World Cup in Paris tomorrow night, against Belarus, and it is being approached with a sense of optimism.
That is pretty much all down to Laurent Blanc. He has approached his first few weeks in the job with an uncompromising candour and made it his mission not just to make his side play better football but also to restore a bit of mutual respect.
